With AIR 3.4, it would be possible to use ADT to install AIR applications on the iOS devices (i.e iPod, iPhone and iPad) from both desktop operating systems (i.e MAC and Windows). Prior to AIR3.4, developers have to use iTunes, XCode etc to install the iOS AIR applications and that was a cumbersome process.

This new capability will make the install/uninstall process a lot more seamless. To install/uninstall an iOS AIR application on the device, simply follow the following instructions:

First of all, we need to know the number of devices, along with their device-id’s, which are attached to the machine. This can be done using the following ADT command.

If you are using iOS Native Extensions with AIR 3.3, you may find that your application does not get packaged when using Flash Builder/Flash Pro. This is because, when using native extensions, linker warnings are not suppressed, and Flash Builder/Flash Pro are not able to handle such large number of warnings, specifically on Windows. This issue will be fixed in the upcoming release of Flash Builder and Flash Pro.

In order to overcome this issue, you can include the platform descriptor file (platform.xml) in your ANE, which contains the following linker option:

<option>-w</option>

<platform xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/extension/3.1">

<sdkVersion>5.0</sdkVersion>

<linkerOptions>

<option>-w</option>

</linkerOptions>

</platform>

Then, at the time of packaging the ANE, include the ADT switch –platformoptions, providing the path to the platform descriptor file. For example,
